A groove 11 1 is disposed on the top of the thermal baffle 11, and the groove 111 works with the hook of the lock catch 21, the hook of the lock catch 21 could insert to the groove 111; the pivot connects to the side door by hole clearance, and the pivot is positioned by the spring and the convex (not shown in the figures); the side door pivot 32 is fixed to the side door 1 by bolts; the inner of the thermal baffle is disposed with grid spring 112 to open the side door; A side door open lock catch device 2, which includes two lock catch 21 to lock the two side door and a gear structure 22. The lock catch 21 connects to the gear structure 22, which drives the lock catch 21 to lock the lock catch 21 to the groove 111 or release the lock catch 21 from the groove 111; the gear structure 22 of the side door open lock catch device 2 includes two gear levers 221, 222, which joints together; the end of the gear levers 221, 222 connect to the lock catch 21 in a sharing shaft 23. Thermal ring 24 is disposed in the sharing shaft 23, and the lock catch 21 pivot connects to the thermal ring 24 by the sharing shaft 23. A lock catch spring 211 is disposed under the lock catch 21 to reset the lock catch 21; a gear spring 223 is disposed at the joint of the two gear lever 221, 222 to reset the gear lever; an open push rod 25 is disposed at the joint of the two gear lever 221, 222; Side door lifting device 3, which includes a lifting board 31 and two side door shaft 32 fixed to the bottom of two the side doors 1. The lifting board 31 sliding connects to the front body 5 of the toaster. The side door shaft 32 are disposed under the lifting board 31, a closing push rod 33 connects to the lifting board 31. The bottom of the lifting board 31 extends down to form a side door push piece 311 to press the side door shaft; the bottom of the lifting board is disposed with a lifting spring 34 to reset the lifting board; the two sides of the front body 5 is disposed with a stop 51 to limit the pivot angle of the side door shaft.

The timing electromagnetic controller 4 includes a timing controller 41 and an electromagnetic device 42. The electromagnetic device 42 is disposed in the base 6 of the toaster. The timing controller 41 of the timing electromagnetic controller 4 is disposed with a knob 411 to select the bake time. The timing controller 41 is disposed with an electromagnet 421 which is magnetized when powered; an suction piece 312 is fixed at the bottom of the lifting board 31, the suction piece 312 can stuck to the electromagnet 421.

Refer to the FIG. 1, when the side door is open, the food to be baked is put to the toaster. Power the toaster and turn the knob 411 of the timing controller 41 to the bake time, then push the closing push rob 33 down. The lifting board 31 slides downward, and the side door shaft 32 pivots down with the effect of the side door push piece 311 of the lifting board 31. The side door shaft 32 drives the two side doors 1 pivot around the pivot 12, as shown in the FIG. 3 and the FIG. 4. The hook of the lock catch 21 inserts to the groove on the top of the side door thermal baffle 11, and the side doors 1 are locked by the lock catch 21. So is the close of the side doors 1.
